Prevention of comedy

But everyone wants to see the ol' slip of the banana peel trick! Granted it might spoil things considering that Landmannalaugar looks like a bit of a moon landscape (see below) where banana peels probably aren't going to blend in.

Cairn you stop that?!

In Iceland cairns were traditionally used to mark the way on roads that crisscrossed the island. These massive cairns are something pretty impressive* so impressive that tourists decide to make their own. These can actually be quite dangerous - it's often fairly foggy so can potentially lead you in the wrong direction. As a volunteer one of the jobs was to dismantle them so its nice to see that some parks stopped people making them altogether. This is from Landmannalauger, Iceland

*not quite as impressive as the inukshuk over on Baffin Island, Canada but cool nonetheless

A double whammy today because both pics are from the same location: a bakery somewhere in Beijing.

I have no idea what this is, I can only assume it means that you're not allowed to take in hot chips/fries into the bakery (which may or may not be symbolically representing all kinds of food). Even better though is the fact that you're not allowed to take cameras into this bakery. Why? As far as I remember it was only pretty standard looking bread that they sold? Some people get far too touchy

If it didn't tell us about the spitting underneath I'd wear the Singaporean Government had something against Fedoras!

No hiking on a conveyor belt especially if your movements are robotic and you're sporting a hat.

When perspective comes into play

Who says you can't get artistic and realistic in prohibited signs? This little gem from Singapore shows that you're not along to cross the road with PERSPECTIVE.
